5. Bowling For Columbine (2002)

Michael Moore at his most lucid, funny and indignant, Bowling For Columbine briefly transcended the left-right divide in the United States to illustrate the bizarre nature of the country’s gun laws. Moore is sometimes as much of a shyster as the crusty f*ckers on the right he looks to skewer, but Bowling For Columbine carries an icy but exhaustive logic that makes it his best film. Loses a few points for the cheap Heston stitch-up at the end, but anti-gun campaigners would do well to take a few cues from the intense focus of this 2002 feature.
